2) End sentences like Martin Luther King (as if in despair, or fading off into space, "Americaaa..."). Not to diss Martin Luther King.

3) Tell them they don't have to face hard challenges. (Waterboarding? Non-issue. Doesn't work! Didn't work! Iran? We just haven't talked to them! Tax policy? Those "tired old theories about a little trickling down," are not needed. Populist redistribution will work! So people don't have to face the reality of others who make more than them.)*

* Waterboarding has been used by our military, to train elite troops. It is to train them (without injury) to understand, they WILL comply if caught (by the enemy). It is 99%+ effective. The point is, don't get caught! It's to train people to evade, to be single-minded of pourpose. It did work, according to most or all former CIA chiefs, with the clearance to look at it (forget weather it was most, or all). It would certainly be expected to work, reasonably, on anyone who knew anything.

Condoleeza Rice (with a PHD in Russian history, and years of top-level experience) and others, have handled our diplomacy, and we've been negatiating, of course, with the Iranians, for many years.

Reaganomics created HUGE, BROADLY-DISTRIBUTED wealth. The money supply was inflated to create apparent growth, mostly in the 90s and 2000s. The most recent statistic I've seen, which was a couple of years ago, admitedly, indicated, that in actual buying power (the best gauge of wealth), 80% of US citizens are making more, than they were 20 years ago. Most, much more. The bottom 20%? The same (as they were).

The most important reform, to help low-income people? Accountability, competition and choice, in the school system (including vouchers; I'd say, completely privatise). McCain argued for it; Obama minced words (at Saddleback).
